Xbox Series X|S vs Xbox One Sales Comparison - February 2023

This monthly series compares the aligned worldwide sales of the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

The Xbox Series X|S launched in November 2020, while the Xbox One launched in November 2013. This does mean the holiday periods for the two consoles do lineup.

XSX|S Vs. XOne Worldwide:

Gap change in latest month: 113,454 - XSX|S

Gap change over last 12 months: 197,333 - XSX|S

Total Lead: 923,848 - XSX|S

Xbox Series X|S Total Sales: 20,855,929

Xbox One Total Sales: 19,932,081

February 2023 is the 28th month the Xbox Series X|S has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the Xbox Series X|S when compared to the aligned launch of the Xbox One by 113,454 units.

In the last 12 months, the Xbox Series X|S has grown its lead by 0.20 million units. The Xbox Series X|S is currently ahead by 0.92 million units.

The Xbox Series X|S has sold 20.86 million units in 28 months, while the Xbox One sold 19.93 million units. Month 28 for the Xbox Series X|S is February 2023 and for the Xbox One is February 2016.

The Xbox One did not reach current Xbox Series X|S sales until month 31 when it sold 20.96 million units.

The Xbox One crossed 20 million in month 29, 30 million in month 46, and 40 million in month 61. The Xbox One has sold 51.26 million units lifetime. The Xbox Series X|S is 30.30 million units behind lifetime Xbox One sales.

Selling so closely with the underperforming Xbone isn't a good look. It's ahead at least, but only by a hair.

Improving supply doesn't seem to have helped it much; those big games can't come soon enough.

At this point the Xbox One sales declined every year. Plus the last holiday the Xbox Series X|S had no major 1st-party releases, while the Xbox One had Halo 5. I would think Xbox Series X|S would be higher this year than the last couple of years thanks to Starfield.
